Madison County approves zoning map amendment for Rucker property
Summary
At its April 21 meeting, the board approved a zoning map amendment for a parcel at 5240 Goodson Road to consolidate adjacent lots and qualify an ag-exempt structure; the measure passed on roll call after a staff presentation explaining the beekeeping and farm-related intent.
Madison County commissioners on April 21 approved a zoning map amendment that will combine adjacent parcels at 5240 Goodson Road and reclassify the property to a single agricultural zoning to accommodate farm uses, including beekeeping.
The change, presented by a county staff member during the meeting, would combine two parcels to meet the five-acre minimum required for an agricultural-exempt building and to prevent the lots from being landlocked. The staff member said the application (filed as PZ26-01) would consolidate the parcels so “it’ll all be 1 zoning.”
The board introduced a resolution approving the zoning map amendment for Michael and Jennifer Rucker, moved and seconded the motion and conducted a roll-call vote that approved the measure. The clerk read the roll call into the record before the vote was recorded as approved.
The rezoning removes a procedural barrier to the applicants’ stated plan to use the property for agricultural purposes tied to beekeeping and future agricultural construction. County staff will proceed with the administrative steps required to record the amended zoning and the parcel combination.
No further public testimony was recorded on the item and no amendments to the resolution were proposed at the meeting.
